Culinary Schools in Detroit Michigan

Veteran Detroiters always knew their city was a meat-and-potatoes town, but Detroit is in the midst of a culinary transformation. Inexpensive housing stock and an emerging generation of young restaurateurs and chefs eager to experiment have brought new restaurants, breweries, tasting rooms, cocktail bars, pop-up events and quirky lunch spots promising interesting food in neighborhoods where previously the only options had been fast food. Filling up booths and tables at new spots are not just people flocking into the city on nights and weekends but also employees of such companies as Nike, Microsoft, Google, Twitter, Amazon, Lear, Quicken Loans and other mega-nationals that are helping to revitalize the downtown core. Additionally, access to great water and the abundance of local agriculture on nearby farms makes it easy to source ingredients locally. According to Keep Growing Detroit, a local advocacy organization that helps farmers become food entrepreneurs, some 1,375 gardens and farms across the city grow more than 550,000 pounds of fresh produce last year alone. In Detroit chefs and head cook average $34,000 a year, according to BLS. Bakers average $26,000 and food service managers average $50,000 per year. BLS projects modest growth through 2022.

About Us

Everybody eats. And at some point most of us cook...at least something. But when I talk with amateur chefs the conversations too often go right to what to cook, without spending anytime on how to cook.

For me cooking, is about technique. Sure, recipes are great, but they don't make great food: People do. My goal is to teach and show people how to cook, so they can take any set of ingredients and make something special.
